    About this ebook

    Leah, is just like any other child, that likes to have her way and get away with it. One thing about Leah, is that she loves candy, no matter what flavor, she just has to have it and will do anything to get it. This particular day at school, Ms. Pepper, Leah's teacher, is giving a spelling bee, which she rewards candy to any student that spells a word correctly. Leah's concentration is more focused on the candy, then spelling and doesn't get rewarded, which upsets her. So, she decides to stop at nothing to get her hands into Ms. Pepper's candy jar. But, she later faces some consequences that she didn't want to after Ms. Pepper discovers she took candy without permission.

    Kai Lyn

    Kai Lyn is a strong believer in the benefits of reading and limiting screen time. Advances in technology have shifted children away from books, and she aims to get them reengaged. Each story brings important lessons to life in a way that children can connect with and easily understand. They are based on real life events but are intertwined with fiction as well. She strives to give back and stay actively involved with her readers and community.
